Encourage Men to own HON es

A mans first duties are TO his
family and himself. The State
should not make those primary
dates more difficult by taxing any
of the necessaries of life. The ne
cessity for the major portion of the
enormous revenue needed by govern
ment arises from vice and folly in
their various forms. The causes Of
td1dtion should bear the burden OF
toration. All public revenues
should be drawn from indirect taxes
upon conduct and conditions more
or less inimical to the general vel
fare. Luxuries, vices, follies, excess
i've wealth, and all conduct, either
of citizens or foreigners, which
tends to generate evil and injustice
should be taxed as far as practicable.
Such system of taxation would
necessarily have a correlative effect
viz, the encouragement of yirtuous
acts by freeing them from pablo
burdens.
Instead of a policy which would
make it impossible for any indivi-
dual to ever become the absolute
owner of a homestead-that would
make mankind more nomadic and
lessen their interest in and affection
for their homes-the State should
encourage every man to get piece
Of ground and q home of his own.
TO this end, all homesteads to a lin
tied amount of value, should be
exempt both from taxation and from
attachment for debt. The tendency
of such measure would be silently
to prevent and cure the evil of a
monopoly of land by a comparative
ly few, as well as the evil of a ten
ant population with little interest in
the soil upon which their toll and
lives are spent.-John Philip Phil

LIFE OF HENRY WARD BEECHER:-
Joseph Howard Jr., we'll known for
the past twenty-five years as q brilliant
acceptable writer, is preparing a life
of Henry Ward Beecher for pu bKca-
ton by Hubbard Brothers. AS How
ards father was one of the three
founders of Plymouth Church, and
his most intimate friend for more than
forty years, with social intercourse
at no time interrupted, and as How.
ard himself, by reason of his public
life was brought into frequent con.
tact with Mr.. Beecher since his early
boyhood, it is obvious that lie ought
to have and probably has material al
his hand which is accessible to nc
other eontenlporaneous writer. The
book is said to be well under way and
will be ready for market early in May
Mr.. Howard, by the way, was the
author Of the comprehensive and in,
teresting obituary published in the
New York Herald, the day after Mr.
Beecher's death.

rno MUCH CoNFIDENCE.

One of the reasons for the num-
erous defalcations that have caused
such widespread dismay may be
found in the fact that as business
people we are wont to place too
much confidence in men holding |
responsible positions. We are will
ing to take them at the valuation
they put upon themselves, without
stopping to enquire whether we
have any real ground for this or
not.
This is very busy world, and it
peems to grow buster every year.
People in the wild rush of competi-
ton, nowadays, have hardly time TO
think, and if man or certain set OF
men assert that an individual is
competent and honest we are will
ing to believe this statement with
out further examination. 1t saves
time and trouble, VIC are apt to
think, thought often does neither
in the end, and sometimes leads to
a woful loss of money, and a
con sequent deprivation of the peace
of mind without which life is not
very sweet.
No man, however great he may
be, is above suspicion or temptation,
and he should not be allowed to go
unmatched. Because he has never
yielded to the temptcr there is nc
certainty that he may not be over
come in moment of weakness
Sometime the regard for human
respect, which has for time kept
him upright, may prove his down
fall. A fear to face the world as t.;
poor or an unsuccessful man may
lead him to borrow without leave t.
save his name and credit, until h
loses all IN the inevitable crash.
Though outwardly we may seen
very different, yet inwardly we al
have the clements Of good and evi
in our natures, and no man can Sa.
that the bad may not get the bette
of him in some moment, when tn
conscience is stilled by the though
that temporary difficulty may b
lbridged over by slight deviatio
from the path of strict integrity.
There is no doubt that we throy
temptation in mans way by trust
ing him too implicitly. If we los
by him under such circumstance
we can blame ourselves in some DE-

trade here, together with carload
rates and a jobber'S profit, and pay
the farmer well who makes it. There
are two serious drawbacks to the
business. One is a lack of know

pare and put up his sugar for mar

making it to not only have the flavor
just right, but the color also, and
without these it should never leave

Feeding Work Horses in Winter.

1t is not a good plan to feed farm
horses much grain during the winter,
when they have little work to do. Ii
put to labor, give them the usual feed !;
but when not at work, one-fourth of
the amount of grain given during the
busy season is enough. OF course,
they must have all the good stover
they Wish. Horses do not need much
grain at this season; and if given it
they do not have brisk appetites for it
in spring, and likely will soon refuse
to eat the amount of grain they need
to keep them in good condition at
hard work. If, however, the horses
are fed almost altogether on stover dur
ing the winter, they will not refuse
grain when put to work. Inaction Is
more apt than the severest exertions to
produce indigestion and if the horses
are fed iich food during the winter,
they are apt to meet .he spring in
poor condition. The necessary animal
heat aud fat can be made from stover.
"A mixture of straw, clover, hay and
corn fodder makes an excellent food
for horses in winter. If any grain is
fed 1t may well be corn, reserving the
oats until the work season. The horses
must be fed as regularly and carefully
in winter as when they are at work. 1t
will not do to give them heavy feeds
one day. when the weather is pleasant
and scant feeds, later than usual 10
the morning and earlier in the evening
the next day, because the weather is
severe. As for sailing, the best plan
is TO keep salt in a small compartment
in one corner of the feed-box. If the
horfes are fed and watered regularly,
given comfortable shelters, kept clean,
supplied with salt, and given a tea
spoonful of clean wood ashes in their
feed every other day, they will not
need condition powders. Wherever
! man resorts to condition powders, he
ionvicls himself of bad management
# his horses.-Amerioaa Agriouitur-

Eggs are Profitable at all Seasons.

Eggs are higher in winter because
the cost of production is greater at thai
season but though eggs may be lower
in price during the summer, yet they
give profit, however, unless selling
at a point too far distant from marker
to allow of favorable opportunities in
prices. But in summer the conditions
for laying are more favorable. and the
Lumber of eggs secured are greater.
